WARNING
DO NOT operate a lift truck that needs repairs.
If a repair is necessary, put a DO NOT OPER-
ATE tag in the operator’s area. Remove the key
from the key switch.
Inspect the lift truck every 8 hours or daily before
use. Put the lift truck on a level surface. Lower the
carriage and forks, and turn the key switch to the
OFF position. If repair is required, put a tag in the
operator’s area that indicates the lift truck cannot
be operated. DO NOT operate a lift truck until the
problems are corrected.
CHECKS WITH KEY SWITCH TURNED OFF
Make the following checks:
• Electrolyte and specific gravity of the battery
• Make sure the battery is clean and the correct size
and weight for the lift truck
• Check that the battery restraint plates are in place
• Leaks in the hydraulic system
• Condition of the wheels and tires
• Condition of the forks, carriage, mast, and over-
head guard
Battery
WARNING
DO NOT put tools on the battery.
The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury. If
the electrolyte is spilled, use water to flush the
area. Make the acid neutral with a solution
of sodium bicarbonate (soda). Acid in the eyes
must be flushed with water continuously for 15
minutes then seek medical attention.
Batteries generate explosive fumes. Keep the
vents in the caps clean. Keep sparks or open
flames away from the battery area. DO NOT
make a spark from the battery connections.
Disconnect the battery when doing mainte-
nance.
The battery must fit the battery compartment
so the battery restraint panels will operate cor-
rectly. Use spacers to prevent the battery from
moving more than 13.0 mm (0.5 in.) in any di-
rection.
CAUTION
Disposal of batteries must meet local environ-
mental regulations.
Make sure the battery weight is within the maximum
and minimum weight shown on the nameplate.
Keep the battery case, top cover, and the area for the
battery clean and painted. Leakage and corrosion
from the battery can cause a malfunction in the elec-
tric controls of the lift truck. Use a water and sodium
bicarbonate solution (soda) to clean the battery and
